This is probably very trivial, but i could not find the answer in the docs
How to intercept close event of the main window ? Basically i want to show a confirmation dialog before my app is closed, if the user confirm then proceed, if not then do nothing

look at wxCloseEvent.

If you use event table :

Code: Select all

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MyFrame, wxFrame)
   EVT_CLOSE(MyFrame::OnFrameClose)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

void MyFrame::OnFrameClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
{
   Destroy();
}

try handling the "wxCloseEvent" event for the main window. In your own handling method simply show the dialog and when the user clicks ok, call the destroy method. Otherwise do nothing and the main window remains working.
